SAGA SHOP - Haust I Fall 2019

86 Icelandair Stopover NEWS: ICELANDAIR @WORK From flying fans to Ed Sheeran’s concerts in Iceland and sponsoring our national football stars, to celebrating the 20 th anniversary of Reykjavík Pride, the 10 th anniversary of flights to Seattle, and Saga Club’s one-millionth member, Icelandair means business. COMPILED BY EYGLÓ SVALA ARNARSDÓTTIR AND CAROLYN BAIN. Congratulations, One-Millionth Icelandair Saga Club Member! Icelandair Saga Club, our loyalty program, has been growing steadily since it began in 1992, and in August we welcomed our one- millionth member. Seattle-based Hayley Nichols became the millionth person to join Saga Club and won 1,000,000 Saga Points and a Saga Gold membership. Hayley signed up to Saga Club when she booked her flight from London to Seattle. Now that she has a million Saga Points to spend, she’s keen to return to Iceland to explore the country. After that, Hayley will likely take her sister to Europe as a high school graduation present. We congratulate Hayley on becoming a member of a diverse global community that enjoys great benefits and exclusive offers. We look forward to welcoming her on board (many) future flights! Sky-High Celebration of Reykjavík Pride At Icelandair we marked the 20 th anniversary of Reykjavík Pride, as well as our commitment to diversity and inclusion, with a special “Pride flight” on August 13—FI829 between Keflavík and Philadelphia. Our Pride flight was an initiative of LGBTQ+ employees at Icelandair, and the cabin crew and pilots on this flight are all proud members of the LGBTQ+ community. The service on board the flight was naturally themed accord- ing to the occasion. Waving pride flags and all smiles, cabin crew served brightly colored drinks and chocolates in rainbow wrapping. Every year we celebrate together with the LGBTQ+ community and support the ongoing pursuit for equal rights. We are proud of our employees who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community and work in different departments across the company, and we are proud to be part of a community that celebrates diversity and equality. Reykjavík Pride is a 10-day spree of enter- taining and educational events, this year August 8 to 17, celebrating queer culture and legal rights.
